As the premier provider of Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) and Data Quality Oversight software, we harness advanced statistics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to ensure the quality, accuracy, and integrity of clinical trial data, helping life sciences organisations bring safer, more effective treatments to patients faster.We’re an ambitious, fast-growing technology scale-up with a dynamic and diverse international team. Collaboration, flexibility, and continuous learning are part of our DNA, and we are guided by our values of Care, Passion, and Smart Disruption.\nThe Role\nThe Data Engineer will build the pipelines, connectors and harmonized data snapshots at the heart of CluePoints’ new data layer. The layer brings together data from different studies and applications so that CluePoints’ consumer applications can use it, with auditability and regulatory compliance designed in from the start.\nYou will work with the platform architect and the AI Engineer to turn the architecture into reliable, production-grade data flows. Success looks like trustworthy, traceable, harmonized snapshots, delivered consistently across studies and data sources.\nWhat You'll Do\nData-Layer Pipelines & HarmonizationBuild and maintain production pipelines that bring data from different studies and applications into the data layer.\nImplement harmonization logic that reconciles studies with differing variables, including approaches driven by metadata from data-capture solutions.\nProduce harmonized data snapshots for CluePoints’ consumer applications, with clear refresh and versioning approaches.\nValidate new or changed data flows against source systems and business expectations.\nConnectors & Integration\nShape and build connector approaches for common data-capture systems.\nSupport customer-specific Databricks and Snowflake environments with secure, repeatable integration patterns.\nMonitor and manage schema changes, missing data, duplication and inconsistencies between sources.\nEvaluate new data sources and determine the most appropriate extraction and integration approach.\nAuditability, Quality & Compliance\nEnsure snapshots support auditability, traceability and regulatory compliance, including lineage, versioning and reproducibility.\nImplement automated data-quality controls covering completeness, accuracy, consistency, uniqueness and freshness.\nSet up monitoring and alerting for pipeline failures, unexpected schema changes and data-quality issues.\nApply testing, validation and documentation standards appropriate to a regulated environment.\nPlatform Engineering & Collaboration\nContribute to technology evaluation and architecture decisions with the platform architect.\nEstablish version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD and orchestration practices for the data layer.\nMonitor and optimize performance, resource usage and cost.\nWork with the AI Engineer to make well-described, harmonized data available to retrieval and AI components.\nDocument critical solutions and share knowledge to avoid dependency on a single individual\nMust Haves\nStrong practical experience designing and running production-grade ingestion, transformation and orchestration pipelines.\nAdvanced SQL and strong Python development skills.\nHands-on experience with Databricks and/or Snowflake and modern lakehouse or warehouse architectures.\nExperience integrating data from databases, APIs and SaaS applications.\nStrong data modelling skills, including layered data architectures.\nExperience with Git-based development, code review, automated testing and CI/CD.\nExperience implementing data-quality controls, observability, monitoring and alerting.\nUnderstanding of data governance, metadata, lineage and traceability, and why they matter in regulated settings.\nAbility to reconcile data with differing structures and variables and to validate it against source systems.\nHigh autonomy and ownership from requirements through deployment, monitoring and maintenance.\nNice To Have\nExperience in clinical trials, life sciences or another regulated environment, or familiarity with clinical data standards (for example CDISC) and data-capture system exports.\nExperience designing metadata-driven pipelines or harmonizing data across heterogeneous sources.\nExperience with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and Databricks Asset Bundles, and with Microsoft Azure.\nExperience building integrations into customer-managed data environments.\nPractical use of generative AI in data engineering workflows, and awareness of knowledge graphs and RAG.\nWhat We Offer\nThe chance to build a core data capability from the ground up: CluePoints has committed to the data layer, and the engineering patterns are still to be set.\nA meaningful technical challenge: harmonizing data across studies with differing variables into auditable snapshots.\nInput into technology choices, with room to evaluate options rather than inherit a fixed stack.\nClose collaboration with a senior platform architect and an AI Engineer on a shared problem.\nDirect visibility of how your pipelines and snapshots power CluePoints’ consumer applications.\nExposure to customer-specific Databricks and Snowflake environments across the life sciences industry.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5284,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous
